The atmosphere, peace and calm, friendly staff, lush gardens, tasty food, wildlife, sustainability focus were all amazing. I loved the African decor, gorgeous locally made wooden furniture. Then there's the room. Garden view offers magical morning birdsong and afternoon acrobatic shows from the colobus monkeys. The beach access is superb, nothing short of a wonderful stay. Definitely coming back.

Babylon Gardens is fantastic. Boutique experience with very personalized and attentive service. The owner and all the staff make you feel right at home. You can swim in the beautiful pool 24/7, just steps from your front door, or easily grab a drink from the cozy bar. The daily breakfast is excellent, as were the dinners we ordered from the restaurant. The apartments have a large living room and separate bedroom with a/c. Very spacious and comfortable. We'll definitely be staying here again. :)

The staff were so kind and helpful. The villa was cleaned on time and the job the cleaning lady did was really good. Also, the location may be a bit far from the main road, but it's totally worth it. I loved the fact that it was so quiet. And also how refreshed I felt after staying here. The scenery is also very beautiful and green and refreshing to be around. If you need privacy and a safe place to be, Sonrisa is that place for you

Devine location, the stretch of beach at the location is picturesque! Very attentive staff you feel pampered the minute you walk in the facility. All rooms are spacious. All are beautifully and individually decorated meals are à la cart so it’s your slice of paradise at your pace. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Simon at breakfast made this feel special. He was very attentive and respectful. Zipporah and her team make sure you have the most wonderful time. We had dinner one night at the Ali Barbour cave restaurant which we were pleasantly surprised provided pick up to and from the hotel as a complimentary service With reservation ahead of time required.

    We used 4 of the cottages for our group of 10. The cottages were comfortable and in a great central location. The staff prepared breakfast early each day so that we could meet the scuba diving shop schedules which was very accommodating. The grocery store directly across the street had everything and there are 2 very good restaurants as well. Other restaurants are within walking distance or an inexpensive ($1-4) tuk tuk ride away.

    Its a nice place with a beautiful beach with clear blue water. Water in the apartments are however salty, I assume its because of the beach surrounding the area. Food and activities are expensive around this area.

    Perfect.

    Perfect. I wrote a previous outstanding review but Booking.com only posted my two comments from “suggested improvements”, which were inconsequential but gave a negative impression. The property was lovely, steps from an amazing white sandy beach fringed with coconut palms. I loved lolling on the comfy cushions on the roof terrace in the evenings. Cecilia who looked after us was amazing and a great cook. Her fish curries were to die for. The bed was comfy and the mosquito nets a great asset. The community pool was well maintained with a fabulous on site masseuse, Habiba. Amazing relaxing vacation would highly recommend.

    Diani beach is a great place to chill, relax, swim in warm ocean waters. Diani beach has a vibrant and eclectic nightlife , for those who want it. Getting around by tuk-tuk taxi is cheap and easy, the people are fab, But . . . don't go in May, or early June, it is very very rainy! December to March are best, Jan & Feb dryest by far. Enjoy.

    Diani is a must see while visiting Kenya.

    Diani is a must see while visiting Kenya. Just make sure you pick your dates well. We visited Diani in April which was the start of the raining season but it was hot. The dry season runs from August to December and I can only imagine how hot it can get. Many resorts don't have A/C but portable fans in rooms. It helps but the rooms are still hot. Bring insect repellent sprays as insects and mosquitoes are around. Plenty of activities to do. Wasani day trip is a must do, camel/horse rides along the beach, sunset in Congo river, glassboat rides, jet ski, kite surfing etc. Be ready to negotiate anything you buy as the locals have the tendency to overcharge foreigners. Also there is a small splash place for kids. It is not as big and elaborate as the big theme parks but it helps keep the kids busy and distracted.

    Ukunda itself is full of different kind of problems, but if we specifically talk about Diani, situation is different. Seaview access hotels are in general above average except, Flamboyant, Safari Beach and Seabreeze of which have many issues. Pricing 80$ to 500$ US. Then in Galu beach lies horrible trap places like this ghastly Coconut Village with incompetent teenagers left as managers. The second strip hotels are passable with pricing 35$ to 120$, but usually lack service ability and professional staff. The beach is very beautiful, but people around hotels hustling bring the experience down even bad.
